“Welcoming, promoting and empowering higher education students.”
Mentoring is a project for welcoming, integrating and sharing experiences of student life in higher education. Based on relational experience, the mentors, students with more experience in university life, share their experiences and knowledge to promote adaptation, autonomy and guidance for the new students, the mentorees.
